Suze Orman would leave Florida for marital rights

If the Supreme Court decides to leave marriage equality up to the states to decide, will gay and lesbian couples be concentrated in a few select states while the rest of the U.S. languishes behind in civil rights? Suze Orman, the financial planning guru, TV host and HuffPost blogger who lives with her lesbian partner in Fort Lauderdale, recently threatened to take her riches to another state where her relationship is recognized.

“Currently I am a resident of Florida … and I have substantial wealth and I pay substantial taxes,” Orman said on MSNBC’s “Now With Alex Wagner.” “I would be more than happy to move to New York or California if I could get married and be recognized on a federal level,” she continued. “Because I want to live in a state that validates me, and I would validate them with my money.”
